The Great ‘Miniature’ Trail It’s not just Paignton Zoo that’s celebrating a landmark in in 2013 – its 90th birthday. Babbacombe Model Village is 50 years old this year. To mark these two important birthdays they have teamed up to stage the unique Great Miniature Trail. Each of the life size Great Gorillas has been recreated in miniature to form their own trail in the Model Village. So while you’re in Babbacombe to spot the life-size gorillas, why not visit the Model Village to see their mini cousins?

Allow at least 2 hours for your visit. Trail can only be viewed during daylight.

Bays Brewery, in Paignton, is supporting the project by brewing a limited edition cask-only ale and Peter Salmon, from Bays is delighted to support such a good cause.

Bays Great Gorilla Ale is a well-balanced, easy-drinking golden ale at 4.7%, and will only be available to the public during the art trail.

We are delighted that J D Wetherspoon is supporting The Great Gorillas Project by not only selling the guest ale in selected pubs through South Devon, but they are making a generous donation to the Project per pint sold. The ale will also be available from the bars at both Living Coasts and Paignton Zoo.
